How to do this?

I think Rob may have answered this one already but to reiterate:
public String[] getWords() {
return mBody.split("\\s+");
}
Create a getWords method of type String array.
public String[] getWords(){
}
Then create a return statement within the method body. Return the body member variable with the regex inside of the split method. The regular expression should be \s+ -- including the escape character (a backslash is the escape character \ ). So we now have this: \\s+
The end result is:
public String[] getWords() {
return mBody.split("\\s+");
}
Hope this helps :)
